There is a vacant position as postdoctoral fellow for 2 years from September 2013 within the project “Topology in Norway”.

The project is a cooperation between research groups at the University of Bergen, the University of Oslo, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. See http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=92733 for more details (there is a link to the english version in the upper right corner).

The application procedure is fully electronic via the above website.

Closing date for application: 3 May 2013

The aim of this postdoctoral project is to perform research and aid in the supervision of graduate students within the program “Topology in Norway”. The successful candidate will join one of the teams working on various aspects of algebraic topology, including stable homotopy theory, manifold topology, algebraic K-theory, and motivic homotopy theory. For more information about the aims and scope of this program, see the link to “Project description” on http://www.uib.no/People/csc021/TiN.html

I found my current job in Bordeaux thanks to this blog post of Minhyong Kim, and will now try to make someone else a similar favour.

Firstly, there are postdoc positions at INRIA advertised here. The subject area is computer science and applied mathematics, but I know that in the past this has included computational arithmetic geometry. If anyone is interested, I can put you in touch with someone at the maths department here in Bordeaux who has hired math postdocs via INRIA before (am hesitant to post his name and email address here without his permission). Just leave a comment or send me an email.

Secondly, there is some European Union money for a number of postdoc positions in the Aquitaine region. As far as I understand, the first step towards an application is to contact a potential host researcher, for example at the IMB.
